London sent away the guests from afar, and restored the tranquility of the past. Listening to the melodious chime from Big Ben, Lin Xia felt her heart slowly calm down.

Since Alice came back from the hospital, her body doesn't seem to be as good as before, and the doctor will come to check her body every other day.

And there are often all kinds of people coming to visit at home.

Alice will meet these guests in the study upstairs. As for what to say, Lin Xia doesn't know, and she won't deliberately ask, and her own homework is getting more and more busy.

Almost every day, in addition to the necessary courses, I have to go to the library to borrow a lot of professional books to read at home.

When cooking, hold a spoon in your right hand and a book in your left.

Sometimes Alice would tease her when she saw it, "It didn't burn the food!"

More often, after dinner in the afternoon, Lin Xia would take her textbooks to the living room, sit on the carpet, lean on the sofa to read and study, and Alice would sit beside her and watch TV.

"My dear, you are the most hardworking student I have ever seen!" Alice said, "It has been more than an hour, you can take a break."

Lin Xia put down the book in his hand, rubbed his face with his hands, and raised a big smile to Alice, "Rest!"

Alice handed Lin Xia a glass of juice, "You should go out and have fun more, the day after tomorrow is Halloween, don't you have any activities in your school?"

"School activities!" Lin Xia thought for a while, "There are a lot, but I still like to stay at home with you, and I hope there will be a lot of pumpkins in the dishes delivered tomorrow, if not, I will buy some back! "

"Don't worry, there will definitely be, what else do you hope for?" Alice said mysteriously.

"No, we can make a lot of jack-o-lanterns by then!" Lin Xia stretched her waist, then smiled and stretched out her fingers to count, "There will be Thanksgiving next month, and Christmas next month, oops, so many Holiday!"

Alice smiled and saw Lin Xia's happy smile, "I can ask John to take you to the Christmas market!"

"Stop!" Lin Xia made a pause gesture, "I don't want it!"

"Summer, I know you're still thinking about that excellent man, but you can learn more about John, he's not bad either!" Alice said.

Lin Xia's eyes drooped, "I still have an exam, and next year I'm writing a thesis and looking for an internship, Alice!" Lin Xia looked up at Alice, "I really don't have time to think about it, John is a Very nice person, but I am not suitable for him, he will meet a better girl!"

Alice held Lin Xia in her arms with some distress, "Okay, I won't talk about it in the future! Don't worry, I just hope you are happy!"

"Yeah!" Lin Xia lay on Alice's lap, closed her eyes, and felt like grandma was by her side again. It was great!

"From now until Christmas, London is the busiest time, you can also hang out with your classmates, you don't have to stay with me all the time, honey, you should have your own life!"

"I feel very good now!" Lin Xia chatted with Alice without saying a word with her eyes closed.

Alice has never been married and has no children, but now, Lin Xia has given her an unprecedented feeling of family happiness and warmth, which is very strange.

This feeling will make people immerse themselves in it unconsciously, and Alice sometimes recalls some things in her childhood.

The area where she lived when she was a child was in a poor area of ​​London. Her father was a sailor. Apart from quarreling with her mother, she was drinking too much. Her mother was a weak woman. Alice never felt any warmth from her family since she could remember.

She lives in fear every day, for fear that her father will be drunk and kill her after beating her mother. She always finds ways to reduce her sense of existence to be ignored by everyone.

Until one day, my mother ran out of the house screaming, holding a knife in her hand, covered in blood, standing on the street, yelling, "I killed him! I finally killed him! Let him go to hell! Go to hell!"

This was Alice's last impression of her mother. After that, she was taken to a church orphanage by a government charity, where she saw a different sky, finished her primary school to high school courses, and then entered London Business School. college.

Every time she thinks of this, Alice looks at Lin Xia as if she is looking at herself.

But Lin Xia is luckier than her, because Lin Xia has a lover who loves her deeply, and what's more, Lin Xia has an optimistic attitude that is completely different from her own.

In the past, Alice had a closed heart. She rejected all those who had an intimate relationship with her, hated marriage, hated family, and even for a long time, she hated anyone who showed concern for her.

It wasn't until Lin Xia's appearance that Alice felt that the feeling of being cared for by others would be so addictive.

Alice has known Old Will's family since she was a child. The Old Will's family was her former neighbors. Old Will's mother would often sneak some food to Alice while her father was asleep. The only warm scene left.

Old Will treated Alice like his sister since he was a child. He was bullied by other children on the street. He would stand up for her and fight hard.

Later, Alice was sent to an orphanage because of her parents' affairs, and Old Will's family often visited her.

Although Alice was very indifferent when they met, she always trusted the Old Will family the most in her heart.

Alice has her own business, and Old Will has passed the bar exam. Not surprisingly, Old Will became Alice's lawyer, and she also became John's godmother.

Old Will asked her to hire a maid, but Alice refused without hesitation, but she didn't go to the nursing home, it was too uneasy to be alone at home, until Susan appeared, the only person Alice didn't reject.

Later, Susan’s elder brother passed away and left for a while. Old Will thought of renting out the house, letting the renter take care of Alice, and reducing or exempting the rent according to the work content. In fact, he hired Alice in disguise. Nanny, until Susan comes back.

Before Lin Xia, Alice saw many things in the eyes of those young visitors, such as dislike, dislike, coping and so on.

But in Lin Xia's eyes, there was only sincerity and kindness, and there was even light shining. Alice didn't know what it was, but now she knew.

Looking down at Lin Xia who was resting on her lap, Alice thought, that is a kind of family affection and happiness!
"By the way," Alice said suddenly, "Summer, I smell a very pleasant smell on you and in your room, sweet and very happy, what kind of perfume is that? "

Lin Xia opened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Alice with a smile, "Does that smell really make you feel happy?"

Alice nodded and closed her eyes, "You also have this smell on you, it makes people like it and makes people intoxicated!"

"You wait!" Lin Xia stood up, and quickly went back to the room to bring two dried flower bags, "Is this the smell?"

Alice took it curiously, put it under her nose and smelled it, "Yes, this is it, my dear, what is this?"

Lin Xia glanced at the time, "You take the medicine first, and I'll tell you!"

Alice happily took the pills and water glass, and asked after eating, "Okay, tell me quickly!"

"This is, let me think about how to say it in English, yes, it is a dried flower bag!" Lin Xia opened one and showed Alice the petals inside.

"My God! What flowers are so fragrant!" Alice exclaimed.

"This is the petals of gardenias. They bloom every spring. When they bloom, they have a strong fragrance that can be smelled from a distance. I like it very much. I just thought about how to keep their fragrance, and then I learned it.

How to do this! "Lin Xia was talking to Alice while tying the string of the flower bag.

"It's really amazing. There are also dried flowers for sale in London, but the scent is a blend of essences. It's far less natural and pleasant than yours."

"These two, put one in your closet and the other in your pocket. When the time comes, you will smell the fragrance of flowers wherever you go. You will be a fragrant old lady!" Lin Xia said with a smile.

"Xiangxiang old lady, then you are Xiangxiang's little girl! Both of us are fragrant! Haha..." Alice smiled very happily.

"Next year, when the flowers here are all in bloom, I'll teach you how to do this. We can make whatever flowers you like, okay?" Lin Xia shook the flower bag in her hand.

"Great! Summer, I'm really lucky to know you, you always surprise me!" Alice gave Lin Xia a big hug.

"Me too!" Lin Xia said softly, hugging Alice back.

……

At the airport, Meng Haibo hung up the phone angrily, and couldn't help but want to curse out loud.

I don't know who leaked his affairs in London. He didn't even go to see anyone from the Meng family when he came here. Meng Qingbo actually found out about his whereabouts, and asked Hao Jiawen to call him and say he would come over.

Meng Haibo felt that he had been ill for a while.

I hate Hao Jiawen and try to please her everywhere, but Gu Shen mocked me when I wanted to find Lin Xia, and waited for a call from Hao Jiawen when I couldn't find Lin Xia.

He rushed to the airport in a hurry, and received a call from Meng Qingbo who scolded him. His mood was extremely bad.

Gu Shen's plane was later than Meng Haibo's. He had a deep chat with Liu Ming and Liu Sheng, and asked Klaus to take him to visit Eisen Company.

The chairman of Eisen's company is Klaus' father, and he met him when he was in school. The old Eisen once thought of letting Gu Shen work in Eisen.

Unexpectedly, after going around and going around for so many years, Gu Shen has already become a person who can sit on an equal footing with him.

During the trip to Europe, Gu Shen gained a lot. Not only did the branch open up the situation with the world's top fashion and haute couture show, but he also received a lot of olive branches for cooperation.

The representative of Meng's side was watching helplessly, only envious.

Moreover, Liu Ming and Liu Sheng also gave Gu Shen a detailed introduction to an old European brand that they had been eyeing for a long time——Spring, SR. The world only exists in the eyes of those nostalgic rich people.
